🌿☀️Nature Sun-Catchers!☀️🌿
Happy Tuesday Academy of Westhaven Families! What a beautiful start to our week. The littles have LOVED all the extra time to have some fun in the sun. All of the trees have bloomed and the nature areas around us have all come to life this week which made for perfect timing for this week’s activity, Nature Sun-Catchers!
What a perfect sunny day for this activity! The classes each picked up so many cool leaves, flowers, herbs and other small pieces of nature that caught their eye. Once they were finished collecting all of their treasures they brought them inside to finish up the project! With the help of their teachers we removed the middle part of the paper plates. We then attached some nice sticky contact paper, and we were ready to go. Everyone had a different process as they were busy creating their masterpieces. Some tore their nature pieces up into little pieces while others left their nature items as big pieces. As they created their designs they also added or took pieces away as inspiration struck! All of the Littles created such colorful masterpieces, they couldn’t wait to hang them up in the window. I just love seeing the beautiful flowers and leaves preserved in our nature sun-catchers! It’s like we captured our beautiful day outside together too!
What are some of your favorite ways to use nature to make art with your littles?
